Have
you ever wondered why so many Americans eat bacon and eggs in the
morning? Associate Professor Brian Conley will discuss the career of
Edward L. Bernays,
the man behind this famous ad campaign who was widely considered the
founder of modern public relations theory and practice.
Conley
will also discuss a lecture series hosted by Bernays at Suffolk
University in the 1960s called "Europe's Contributions to the American
Civilization."
The Moakley Archive recently
